The difference between stone, plant, animal, man and Godman is in the level of consciousness.
We have started our journey but got stuck.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
Divinity is in us, but we are not conscious of it.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
Why do we miss that divinity, that blissfulness?
Everyone is after bliss,
But we are knocking at the wrong door.
But for a man to miss his divinity is unbecoming.
It is below his dignity.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
How did we get stuck?
Laziness is the tendency to go back to where we started, to the unconscious state. It is anti-spiritual. Nature
is frustrated in him. Laziness is a disease of soul. It is deep-seated. Its symptoms are - Procrastination, Gossip
and Indulgence.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

How to come out of laziness?
At the early stages, following a routine in essential to combat laziness. Cut down on food.
When Tao is lost Love prevails.
When love is lost Kindness prevails.
When kindness is lost Morality prevails.
When Morality is lost Law prevails.
When law is lost Confusion alone prevails.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Needs cannot be suppressed, Desire cannot be fulfilled.
Are you going to fulfill your Ego or Live your Life?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
Heaven is that which exists, but you don't see.
Hell is that which doesn't exist but you create it.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
The mind is a robot,
As long as you use it, it is a blessing.
But when it begins to use you, it is a curse.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
The law of grace comes into operation,
when we seek inward growth.
The basic irresponsibility is to refuse to evolve,
to transform oneself.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
To be spiritual means to accept this responsibility.
Systems and discipline up to a point.
There after only their removal brings about flowering.
